This is a seller’s market for high-end Mark Levinson streamers, but the S$16,800 asking price for this like-new No. 519 is ambitious, sitting well above the SGD database median of S$8,547 and the 75th percentile of S$12,673. While external listings show European prices around €12,500–€14,000 (roughly S$19,000–S$21,500) and a US new price of $13,900, the local used median anchors fair value significantly lower, making this listing roughly 97% above the 25th percentile and 34% above the 75th.
The No. 519 remains a top-tier hybrid CD player and streamer prized for its warm, detailed sound and robust build, often considered a flagship alternative to the 6700. Its original S$20,000–S$25,000 retail price and enduring reputation among enthusiasts support its value, but the S$16,800 ask demands confirmation of like-new condition, full accessories, and original ownership to justify the premium. If verified, it’s a rare opportunity to secure a near-new flagship below new Euro pricing, but at this price, buyers should negotiate toward the S$12,000–S$13,000 range for true fairness.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Mark Levinson Audio Systems originated in 1972 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, founded by musician and audio innovator Mark Levinson. A professional multi-instrumentalist with a keen ear for sound reproduction, he launched the brand to bridge the gap between studio fidelity and home listening, debuting with the groundbreaking LNP-2 preamplifier—the world's first high-end audio product. Though Levinson later pursued ventures like Cello and Red Rose Music after parting ways with the company in 1980, the Mark Levinson name endures as a cornerstone of American hi-fi heritage.
The brand specializes in premium solid-state electronics, renowned for meticulously engineered amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Its Pure Path circuit design and innovations like the R-2R ladder volume control define a lineup that prioritizes uncolored, reference-level performance. While early offerings included power amps like the ML-2 monoblocks, today's portfolio under Harman International ownership extends to high-end streaming components and turntable-compatible gear, all crafted for audiophiles seeking precision over compromise.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Mark Levinson commands reference status among discerning buyers, synonymous with no-compromise build quality, natural timbre, and benchmark transparency. Over five decades, it has set industry standards, attracting collectors and enthusiasts who value its legacy of pushing sonic boundaries through superior materials and engineering excellence.
